And you don't understand what I wrote. I agree absolutely the scriptures were written as men were inspired by God to write them. They will remain a dead message with the potential of Life until the Holy Spirit has quickened them in a person. An atheist or even a sometimes believer in God walking in a moment NOT in the Spirit will be unable to understand God's message. It is there but it is like diverse colors displayed before a blind man.All I need is your quote above..
I will show you where you are wrong but it won’t matter to you. Once I do the rest of your post can then be throne out the window.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Given by inspiration literally means. “God breathed”. All scripture was breathed out by God. So, you are wrong but you don’t care.
Why would you conclude that I don't care? I care as Jesus cared when the scripture reads:
"Jesus wept" John 11:35
I weep for any when God has shown me where they have missed the Way. He does not always show me that about people.
Also, I can prove that you don’t have the Spirit and are not Spiritual.
1 Corinthians 14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
Paul said the things that he WROTE, WROTE were the commandments of the Lord. What does that mean? The written form we have is THE WORD OF GOD. But you don’t care. You deny it therefore you are not spiritual.
Just like you said you are right and nothing I can show you will matter.
What is proof to whom? To yourself or to other men? What use ultimately is that? The only approval that matters ultimately is God's Do you stand in God's place to render His approval or disapproval on another man? I certainly would never pretend to do that.
My friend, I readily admit that I am sometimes wrong. This is why I daily return to the "lowest room".
I have never claimed to be what you call "spiritual". I simply strive to be on the Lord's and return regularly to the "lowest room" allowing Him to do any lifting He deems appropriate. If He does not, then I am not lifted.
